Persian Music Traditions Hit the Dance Floor
Persian Electro Orchestra:
Copenhagen-based composer and producer Kianoush, with his Iranian roots, has created a unique fusion of danceable electronica and atmospheric Persian soundscapes with his orchestra. The live performances fit well in both underground clubs and festivals, as well as more intimate settings.
Lovely Start:
The band's first two audiovisual concerts in 2019 at Cinemateket sold out; ever since, the Persian Electro Orchestra has played numerous concerts, including a collaboration with Discoshaman at Roskilde Festival (2019) and Nuuk Nordic Culture Festival (2019).
Highlights:
Classical Persian music is, in contrast to Arabic, North African, and Turkish music, overlooked in the mainstream. Kianoush decided to look into the matter. Since 2016, he has been taking classes in Persian music culture and recorded with a Persian orchestra. Instruments such as the santoor, setar, daf, and tombak are used - besides the delightful vocals of Maryam Zohdi - together with heavy bass frequencies to create a unique atmosphere. Expect high energy and low floating dynamics.
